A SPECIMEN OF MANKIND.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox Discusses the
Male FIirt in an Article on Flirt-
alton.
LFrom the Washington Post.1

The male fiirt who s'plays at court

creature. lie leaEes It to his less skill
to each pretty girl he meets he knows
the fair sex too we'll for that. If all his
lady loves meet and compare notes they
will find that he has never been guilty
of repeating himself. He is original
and inventive, and suits his compliment
to its recipient.
To the young and sympathetic girl he
talks much about "a wasted life, and
saws he should have been different
man had her sweet sympathy came into
his life earlier, but there has never before
been any one to stir his best impulses
and now it is too late. -
To the religious young lady who
yearns to reform the world he hints
darkly of the sinful past which stands
like an accusing spirit between him and
n paradise which has just dawned upon
| him.
To the heiress he takes vaguely of
barriers which fate builds between q
mans pride and his hopes of happiness.
He plays upon the emotions of women
rs upon stringed instruments. and the
tender strains he draws fourth amuse

they become discordant he drops the
instrument, for he does not like to be
annoyed. His standard for women is
high, yet he is forever tempting her to
come down to the plains of folly, and
dispising her for her weakness if she
yields. If crime and heart-aches follow
his footsteps he does not hold himself,
but the frailty of women, in fault.
The married male firt is usually the
outgrowth of his own vanity. He is
like the old heather gods, who required
the fresh sacrifice of human life each
day to keep them in good humor. The
married woman firt is first the result of
a husbands thoughtless neglect or indif-
ference. A woman Graves admiration or
appreciation as naturally as a flower
Graves the sunlight. If the flower does
not receive the sunlight through the
open window it will strain toward n
crevice in the open wall, even if it warps
itself out of shape in the effort. If the
light comes freely and generously
through the window it does not lean
toward the crevice, unless it springs
from a deformed root.

AN ARCTIC SURVIVOR.
An Esquimau Dog with a Strange
and EventfuI History.

Wolf, the nigh leader of the dog team
that drew the sledges III the famous
Greedy Arctic expedition, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, is now n resident of
Oakland, having spent the summer
there for his health. He may be seen
at the home of John W. Mcneil, q
painter, living at No. 819 Lydia street,
where he is kept at the expense of Gen.
Sherman, his owner. Wolf has his
tory. He is the only dog ever enlisted
in the United States navy, aud after the
close of the expedition, Wolf was given
his regular papers of honorable dis
charge from the Government employ.
Lieut.. Greely, in whose possession Wolf
fell, presented him to Gen. Shermon,
who has ever since kept him. The hot
eastern summers have been very trying
ON VOLTS cold blood, and last summer
he was sent to California that he might
escape the heat. He was sent consigned
to George H. King, of San Francisco,
who had brother-in-law in the expedi-
ton. Mr.. King placed him in the care
of Mr.. Mcneil. Wolf is large animal,
with long, gray, silky hair, and possesses
superior intelligence.
A reporter who called to see him the
other day found him the good -natured
victim of half dozen children who
rolled about him. He preserved the
gravest demeanor, and was evidently
weighing some very serious matters.
Wolf was born III the north some eight
years ago, and taught to draw sledges
across the frozen sea by his Esquimau
masters. When Lieut.. Greely was fit
ting out the expedition, he chose Wolf
for his superior strength, and the ami
mails wonderful Intelligence, that
seemed almost human, won him the
honor and distinction of "nigh" leader.
The off leader was Tiger, whose name
also often figures among the incidents
of the expedition. These were the dogs
who led that unfortunate band of eX-
plorers northward, often at the rate Of
165 miles per day.
Wolf is the sole survivor of the team,
Tiger being the last to yield to starva-
tons demands. The story is told, too,
that Wolf, by the laws by which one
man lost his life, should have died, but
because he was dog he was permitted
to live. After Lieut.. Henrv's death,
Wolf was caught in the act Of stealing a
human arm from the corpse larder OF
the starving survivors. He was only q
dog, and they let him live. Wolf will
be returned to his eastern home this
winter.

Cloth ClOaks for Ladies.

Cloth cioaks are so elegant this season
says Harper's Bag0r, in fabric, color,
and design that modistes and tailors are
commencing them for dressy wraps for
visiting and for carriage toilets. The
cloths have great waves and curves of
deeper tone than the s1lrfuce brocaded
upon them, or they are striped like vel
vet, or there are floral or geometrical
figures sunk in their surface, or, best
of all, they are perfectly plain, with a
velvet-l1ke finish that gives them the
name of velvet cloths. They come in
the new stylish shades of Gobelin blue,
fawn, copper red, yieux green, and
browns of dozen different shades.
They are lined throughout with gay
plaid sIlrahs, or else with black or n
sombre hue, and are trimmed with fur,
with changeable velvet, and rich cord
passementerie. The long-waived As
trakhan fur - rechristened Caracal-
such rs was used for jackets twenty years
ago, will rival the more closely waved
Persian lamb-skin Us u black fur trim
ming; and there is new gray fur as soft
as chinchilla, yet of firmer fleece, that
is very effective on the Gobelin blue
cloths. The short clOaks are merely
mantles in cape shape, OF else they have
visite sleeves, and are trimmed only ac-
ross the tournure with fun, and down the
fronts, where bow or fichu is simulat-
ed. Lovely Gobelin blue cloth mantles
dressy enough for any occasion have a
boa and tournure piece of blue fox fur,
with V's in front and back of changeable
blue and copper velvet edged with tinsel
cord; the lining may be blue satin, OF of
cream white plaided with blue or copper
red. Long full cloaks cover the wearer
as great domino, yet are without
sleeves, the fronts straight like the
Russian circular, with the arms coming
out over the middle parts, which are
closely buttoned, and the back adjusted
to the figure as-low as the tournure has
there great fuIness added for the skirt.

HOW STOVES ARE PUT IN.
The Old Story Over Again.

This being the season of the year
when mrltitudes of people are adjusting
their heating apparatus, preparing for
cold weather, some will recognize their
own experience in the following amusing
description from the Americdn Artisan
of the way it is sometimes done:
In the first place, the man puts on an
old and very ragged coat. Then he
puts his hands inside the place where
the pipe ought to go, and blackens his
fingers, and then studiously makes q
black mark down the side of his nose.
Having got his nose properly frescoed,
the man grasps one side of the bottom
of the stove, and his wife and the hired
girl take hold of the other side, and in
this way the stove is started from the
wOOdshed to the parlOr In passing
through the door, the man carefully
swings his side of the stove around and
jams his thumb nail against the door
post. At last the stove is set down in
the proper place, and the man and his
wife and the hired girl set out in tri-
angular search after the stove legs.
Two are finally found inside the stove,
where they have remained since spring,
and the two others are found hidden
under four tons of coal. Then the old
man holds up one side of the stove,
while his wife puts two of the legs in
place; then he holds up the other side
0f the stove, while the other two are be-
ing adjusted, and one of the first pair

tlced with varying results for Some
ten minutes, and by this time the man
gets excited and reckless and tbro,,.s
Off his coat, regardless of tho consa.
quences.
Then the man goes for the stovepipe
and gets a cinder in his eye. The stove
was put up in first-class shape last wear
by the stove man, but this year the pipe
proved to be little too long. So the
man jams his hat down over his ewes,
takes piece of pipe under each arm,
and starts for the tin shop to have it
liked: Then he comes back, steps his
muddy boots into one of the best parlor
chairs to see if the pipe-will fit, when
his wife makes him come down. In the
act of descending he plants his foot
square down on the hollow of the cats
back, and co res within an ace of
trampling the baby under foot. Then
the man gets an old char from the
kitchen and climbs up to the chimney
opening again, ana makes the startling
discovery that in cutting off the end OF
the pipe, the timer had made the pipe
too large to enter the hole in the Chin
ney. so the man goes into the back
yard and splits one side of the end of
the pipe with and old axe, and
squeezes it between his hand until
until he makes it smaller.
Then the man gets the pipe into
shape only to find that the stove does
not stand true. Then the man and his
wife and the hired girl move the stove
to the left, and the legs fall out again.
The legs are replaced and the stove
moved to the right, and there is another
seance with the legs. Then the elbow is
found not to be even with the hole in
the chimney, and the man goes into the
woodshed after some little blocks. Then
the man and his wife and the hired girl
essay to put the blocks under the legs,
and the pipe comes out of the chimney.
The pipe is replaced in the chimney
hole, when the elbow commences to
topple over. The mans wife is visiblv
agitated, and the man gets the dining
table out of the kitchen and balances an
old chair on it, and makes his wife hold
the chair while he performs acrobatic
teats on the grand combine, in an effort
to drive some nails into the ceiling,
during which performance the man
drops the hammer down upon his wife's
devoted head, and she surprises him
with yell worthy the emulation of q
Comanche Indian.
Finally the man completes the grand
act of driving the nails, constructs
wire swing to hold the elbow in posi-
ton, hammers the pipe a little on one
sile and then little on the other, pulls |
one Joint little here andpushes anoth-
er length a little there, gives vocal ex-
preston TO a series of deprecatory and |
mildly profane adjectivcs, takes long |
breath, breathes a deep-drawn sigh of |
relief, and proudly announces that the
